My God what this poor family is going through, and my God, what insufferable pigs these Neo Cons are.

LUBBOCK, Texas - One of two brothers who died while serving in Iraq and Afghanistan committed suicide, family and military officials said Thursday.

Army Spc. Andrew Velez, 22, died last month in Afghanistan, a little more than a year after his older brother, Cpl. Jose “Freddy” Velez, 23, was killed in Iraq. They are the first brothers to die in the two conflicts, the military said.

A military document, confirmed by the family, says Andrew Velez shot himself with a mini-machine gun July 25. Military officials and the soldier’s father said Andrew Velez had been having marital problems.

Andrew Velez joined the Army shortly after graduating from high school in 2002. He escorted his older brother’s body back from Iraq in 2004 after Freddy Velez was killed when his unit came under fire in Fallujah. Despite the loss, Velez signed on for another six years in the military in March, his father said.
